yeah my question was really: are all TVs capable of supporting high speed WIFI downloads or is this a varying standard, getting better with newer models ? It's hard to see that info on specs..
In my case, I was broadcasting 2.4 and 5.0 GHz under the same SSID (my mistake - mesh died, I resurrected Wifi on the modem w/o thinking too hard about it). I since split the SSID between the 2.4 and 5.0 bands, put the kids on 5.0 and was hoping to see that faster band SSID on the TV or the firestick. Nope, neither sees it. Only 2.4 ! I got a partial answer then !
That said, since I did this, the TV now tests at 55 Mbps (vs a max of 16 before). The laptops are also faster 6x on 5.0 ghz frequency. I think that will help now, and I also ordered a fire cube as I hear they are more stable and have room for bigger wifi antenna - more than than the TV or a firestick hiding behind a TV.. At that point the Cube will be the wifi recipient, not the smart Tv. I'm dropping the use of the native TV stuff, it's just too slow.
